Breast lump

hello everyone I’ve got a lump in my left breast (3rd time I’ve found one) normally it goes away by the time I’ve gotten to the breast clinic so this time thought I would wait a bit before going however it’s still there my gut tells me it’s something more this time the aching down my left arm pins and needles in my hand etc I did have a mammogram 14 months ago and they found nothing?? TIA Emma

    Hi Emma,

    Welcome to the forum. I am not a doctor, merely another breast care pilgrim. It sounds as if you may have naturally lumpy breasts. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 9 years and, had a routine mammogram just a couple of months prior to diagnosis. This didn't show anything untoward, but my lump showed up 2 months after and was cancerous. Some cancers show up better on mammogram than others, so it is certainly well worth getting checked out again.

    Rely on your gut feeling, as it is so often right, although I hope not in this case. Please let us know how you get on and, remember that we are always here for you.


    Kind regards,
